(Closed) Winter Wedding – December 2013 – tips greatly appreciated!

I am a newbee, just discovered this site. Just posting to say hello as it would be lovely to share some wedding ideas/tips with fellow engaged bees or newly married bees.

I have always wanted a Christmas wedding so have set a date for 21/12/13 and am so excited!

The dream dress that I have found so far is the below, which I think will be a lovely dress for a winter wedding. I am just getting started at looking though. I adore the neckline and lace sleeves. The below is most probably out of my budget price range as it is an Elie Saab dress (albeit there is no price indication!) so if anyone has handy similar suggestions they would be gratefully received.

i am also looking for any tasteful Christmas/winter wedding theme ideas or decorations. My colour theme is wine red, cream and gold – I am a traditionalist!

thanks and good luck to all those planning their special days or starting out as a newly wed. X

I’m a winter bride too! We haven’t fully settled on colours, but I’m thinking of black, dark red (not fire engine red, but more like a dark crimson) and white. I love the dress you’re looking at! Lace is so feminine, and also looks “wintery” at the same time. I also love the idea of the hood/cloak! I’m thinking maybe of making a faux fur muff for outdoor photos.
